While social enterprise, social impact, and corporate philanthropy might not be for everyone, we can still use law and policy as a means to encourage companies towards wanting to be more active corporate citizens. If the government simply wants to grow the pool of funds going towards the social good industry, a nationwide target makes that happen quickly. Today, the UK boasts one of the most robust and well-defined social enterprise sectors in the world: One in 42 UK businesses is a social enterprise, and the turnover of the sector was approximately £78 billion last financial year, 3.4 percent of GDP. This interplay between legal structures and market behavior illustrates that the way laws define and enable corporate identities can guide industries toward a particular ethos.
